Acts 2:37-8 Now when they heard [this], they were pricked in their heart, and
said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men [and] brethren, what shall
we do
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (When
Jesus Christ comes into our lives we are new creatures all old things we have
done are forgiven and forgotten.)
